NSG 6320 AGNP Board Exam – Cardiovascular Assessment Exam

NSG 6320 AGNP Board Exam – Cardiovascular Assessment Exam 1.Question: The preauricular nodes drain lymphatic fluid from the: palpebral conjunctiva and the skin adjacent to the ear within the temporal region. Correct eyelids, the conjunctiva, and the skin and mucous membrane of the nose and cheek. mouth, throat, and face. posterior part of the temporoparietal region. Explanation: The preauricular nodes drain lymphatic fluid from the palpebral conjunctiva as well as the skin adjacent to the ear within the temporal region. Tonsillar, submandibular, and submental nodes (anterior and superficial cervical lymph nodes) drain lymphatic fluid from portions of the mouth , throat, and face. The facial lymph nodes (infraorbital or maxillary, buccinator, and supramandibular) drain lymphatic fluid from the eyelids, the conjunctiva, and the skin and mucous membranes of the nose and cheek. The posterior auricular lymph nodes drain lymphatic fluid from the posterior part of the temporoparietal region. 2.Question: When auscultating the heart, the displacement of the point of maximal impulse (PMI) is greater than 10 cm lateral to the midsternal line. This finding is consistent with: right ventricular hypertrophy. left ventricular hypertrophy. Correct pulmonary stenosis. a normal PMI location. Explanation: Displacement of the PMI lateral to the midclavicular line or greater than 10 cm lateral to the midsternal line suggests left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). 3.Question: When auscultating the heart of a 55-year-old patient, a loud murmur with a thrill is audible in the right second intercostal space that radiates to the carotid arteries. Also noted is a crescendo-decrescendo pitch audible at the apex. The murmur is heard best with the patient sitting and leaning forward. This finding is consistent with: pulmonic stenosis. tricuspid regurgitation. mitral regurgitation. aortic stenosis. Correct Explanation: With aortic stenosis, the murmur is au
